|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
2010-03-15 16:41:08 +03:00
|
|
|
Type `make' to build tdpkg with tokyocabinet support.
|
|
|
|
|
Type `make CACHE=sqlite' instead to build tdpkg with sqlite3 support.
|
|
|
|
|
You'd better not install this library, it could make your system highly
|
|
|
|
|
unstable.

Manual usage:
|
|
|
|
|
LD_PRELOAD=./libtdpkg.so dpkg ...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For system-wide usage use an alias (make sure you the absolute path to
|
|
|
|
|
libtdpkg.so):
|
|
|
|
|
alias dpkg="LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libtdpkg.so dpkg"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The cache for both sqlite3 and tokyocabinet is located at
|
|
|
|
|
/var/lib/dpkg/info/tdpkg.cache.

BENCHMARKING
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The operations involved with dpkg database reading are mostly done on the file system.
|
|
|
|
|
For this reason cleaning up the kernel cache is a must before calling either tdpkg or dpkg:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
|
